Modern Family Law Austin

Working with Katherine West was One of the best decisions I made during divorce. Since the first day I spoke to her she was Knowledgeable and Emphatic with my situation, She made me feel protected making the process much easier, she is Caring and get things done faster. Thank you so much Katherine West! AT MODERN FAMILY LAW You are SIMPLY THE BEST!

I hired this attorney to handle a very straightforward matter — negotiating and finalizing child support and making minor adjustments to a divorce decree. It should have been simple paperwork and filing. Instead, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. After paying a $3200 retainer, there was constant back-and-forth over small corrections that were never properly completed. Despite repeated requests, even basic edits to the decree were not handled correctly. Eventually, my wife and I agreed to finalize everything just to move forward and asked the attorney to simply file the decree. Rather than completing the filing, the firm withdrew from my case without notice. I was never informed that my retainer was running low, never provided an itemized billing statement, and was still charged an additional $1,300. The decree was never filed, leaving me still legally married after months of work and thousands of dollars spent. I expected clear communication, transparency with billing, and completion of the agreed services. Unfortunately, none of those expectations were met. I would strongly recommend others carefully consider these issues before retaining this firm.

I only spoke with Katherine once, but she made a real impact. She was so generous with her time, answered all of my questions with patience, and made me feel completely heard. I never felt rushed, and I left the conversation feeling much more confident and at ease. I’m truly grateful for her kindness and guidance.

I want to start by saying that my attorney was Chelsi Moore (thankfully). Originally, I thought that I was hiring Modern Family Law to do a rather simple Modification to current orders and it wasn't until we had our initial hearing where the judge says to move forward with the case you're bringing before the court that we did not have a simple case. In fact, due to the lack of professionalism and work of the last attorney I had hired, Chelsi really had her work cut out for her. Even the Travis County Court was shocked to see that this case has been open for SEVEN years with me just trying to get a modification to keep my little one safe. Chelsi Moore is one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, patient attorneys that I have ever had the experience of working with and I can confidently say so because she was the fifth attorney that I had hired to work on this case. When it came to our attention that this wasn't a simple modification and that we were going to have to fight hard to get a judge to rule in our favor, Chelsi held my hand through the entire fight. She kept it straight with me in terms of what was possible but she fought and fought to get us the results that we had been asking for, for years. Finally, we wrapped our case up with win after win after win. She showed up for me in ways that I had not seen other attorneys do before. Chelsi left no stone unturned, no question left unanswered, she was available even when I probably seemed like a crazy person emailing her in the middle of the night. Moving forward for any Family Law needs that I have, I will always hire Chelsi Moore from Modern Family Law. Chelsi - I cannot express my gratitude to you enough. Thank you for getting us results, for keeping my little girl safe, and for everything that you have done for us and provided for us during this ever-so difficult case. I know you had your work cut out for you and that's something that neither of us expected but you really delivered beyond what I could have anticipated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
